Black Linen Micarta

[guarnera]

My Motherinlaw gave me a kitchen knife to rehandle. Its an inexspensive S.S. knife that the handle broke off because the tang was onle about 2" long, and thats on a chefs knife. They have had it a long time and she said she really liked it and could I fix it. Well I extended the tang and made A really nice solid handle out of black linen micarta. I know they will throw it into the dish washer. Will it hold up? Thanks for any info.

I say you run some brass pins to hold it and use some guerilla glue ( water has no effect on it after it drys)

The again i am far from an expert.

Guerilla Glue would be the best to use, especially after reding allt he glue and epoxy tests the guys on one of the forums did. Guerilla glue came out on top along witha few epoxys.

Corby or loveless bolts would be a better choice. Depending on the flexibility of the blade thin knives flex and put a lot of pressure on their attachments. The bolts would not allow it to flex through the handle. Glue is your choice.

I agree with mr miller on this even cuttlers rivets would work as well but not as good as the above statement and glue to keep the gunk out as i am sure there was lots in the old handle.
